I think this is basically true, but there's a different way of saying this.

LLMs are not aligned _for_ humans in a very similar way to the way that humans themselves are not aligned _for_ humans.

We have not yet solved "alignment" for humans - I don't know why anyone thinks _we're_ going to be able to solve it for inhuman things.

because humans lie, cheat, and coordinate...?

do these automatically copy over git config and/or installed hooks?

Yep. It's a full copy of the state of the origin

I'm surprised the article doesn't address the Occam's Razor probability that... _most people_ hold ideas that the (a?) majority does not... and that increased media attention is likely to "discover" these beliefs.

Or rather, I see no attempt to make an argument that Nobel laureates are statistically _more_ likely than other "well-known" non-politicians to hold non-majoritarian ideas... nor any attempt to argue that the ideas followed rather than preceded the award.

My thought too - lots of people have cranky ideas. But they only get taken seriously if they get a Nobel or something like that.
